Transcendentalism According To Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson
believed the concept...
that “God was in man
and in a sense
that God was man”
to individuals born
to achieve
the fulfillment of God’s
purpose! By working
towards attainment
of the divine or Over-Soul
throughout their lives...
Transcendentalism
according to Emerson
thus stresses spiritual realities
within the human embodiment
because our intuitive thoughts
could guide us to knowledge of
higher spiritual truth...
but not conceived as a versimilitude
of realism because a truthlikeness
as a quality of realism in arts literature
films is only a created slice of realism!
Emerson’s desire to focus upon objects
in nature that surround us
to reflect upon events occurring in our lives
and their universal purpose
(to attain knowledge of these events is Greek
observation) as an aid when
correctly applied for the advancement of human
evolution towards higher
planes of existence (in self advancement Buddhism?)
I however claiming blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ
shall ascend directly into Perfection in Heaven.

Direct Entry Into The Kingdom of God
In the Gospels a unique miracle is recorded
the Transfiguration of Jesus
proving the perfection of Life in Heaven.
Being denied such a Transfiguration personally
I shall claim the Blood of the Lamb
shed upon the Old Rugged Cross and not evolve
towards higher planes of existence
within concepts within my own mind
instead through Christ I shall ascend
directly into the promised Kingdom of God
purchase price paid at Calvary
one perfect sacrifice claimed covering all sin.

Why Bother?
Most people born
into stale earth existence
never do anything
with their transitional lives.
They just take up space
occupy an empty chair
move daily from point A to B?
Never contemplating
meditating mitigating,
the reason why
humankind survives,
humanity evolves,
within earth sphere.
For all the essential qualities
they self occupied achieve...
they may as well dormant be
an empty vacant sterile chair.
They are not inactive born
to attain high peaks
encapsulate enlightenment
because they choose not to.
They wade through waves
encompassing indifference,
or generate storm tossed anger
to drown themselves,
or others bitterly within, when
they even indifferently bother.
Radiant meaning, purpose, learning,
orientating chosen human existence.
Is not an ultimate goal, attaining, perpetuating,
mere physical; supposed security survival.
Choose contribute, to an evolutionary shift,
through fine deeds, singular communal;
brainstorming, healing, supportive, attitudes actions;
supportive love sent; revitalizing energy.
Open imagination expand limits,
awareness, germinating self-knowledge.
Mitigate fear, hopelessness, despair,
permeating despondent; hedonistic humanity.
Universal enlightenment
offers transcendental energy;
to everyone interrogating life
seeking essentially spiritual nature.
Mystical connections
within universal energy;
expands our awareness;
orientating souls irrevocably towards;
our ultimate human destiny;
our original divinity created purpose.

A Good Education Need Of The Hour!
Education decides about the future life and work for all;
Education only helps to develop one’s life and work here.
Mere education is not passport to get job but it’s for life;
Mere education helps not to face life situation or crisis;
Common sense, presence of mind, general knowledge do!
For everything education is the base in the modern world;
Education is for freedom, development and fulfilment in life;
Education helps intellectual mind to acquire true knowledge.
Knowledge only can give power, freedom and satisfaction;
Knowledge of love, truth gives freedom to attain perfection.
Dharma is justice to live righteous life according to one’s nature;
Religion is to say about truth of God, dharma and culture to all;
Education is to help develop one’s capacity with apt knowledge
To express talent using ideas of knowledge in duty to do things
Beneficial to oneself, society to achieve joyful fulfilment in life!
Now education does not serve such purpose but crams knowledge
Incomplete just to do specialised jobs only for material benefits.
Complete knowledge makes link of science, literature and culture;
This could satisfy body, mind, heart and soul to achieve completion;
Love and knowledge make perfect to attain joy, peace, satisfaction!

A Best Way To Liberation! (1)
As cage bird or imprisoned person we all live our life;
A soul in the body is like a prisoner in the prison here;
However joyful or sorrowful the life is freedom is bliss;
For which we all explore life, world, Nature and God!
Love makes man live in the world inspired by Nature;
Man knows love from Nature and lives better life;
Love of Art, beauty, Nature, music helps to live longer;
Due to love he lives family life far evolved from animals!
Fear is the opposing force of love perpetrated by animals;
Animals achieve all by the force of fear more than love;
But love of knowledge or education puts an end to fear
And knowledge by experience gives wisdom and culture!
Culture ennobles man from animals to live best life
As culture is best way of life based on best of acts
Covering best thoughts, best words and best deeds
Extensively satisfying all aspects of human activities!
Life is conscious existence enjoying bliss in the world;
Divine life is eternal conscious existence in bliss absolute!
Physical life is consciousness of soul powered by energy;
Divine life is consciousness of Universal Spirit everywhere!
Matter has evolved from energy powered by Universal Spirit;
Human body has time limit as all perishable commodities;
The soul within is the dropp of the Universal Soul everywhere,
That is the saturation or end point of all living souls here!
